We Got Stuff To Do

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a boy with an empty hand, Hungry for a place to stand, Walking miles through sun and snow, Chasing love he'd never known. He gave up school, he found a way, To feed a family every day. [Chorus] Oh, you're the heart, the soul, the strength, The one who carried every length, When I let go, you held my faith, You loved me more than you loved your own way. Jonny O, look how far we've come, You saved me, and you made me whole. [Verse 2] You forgave me time and again, Pulled me back from where I'd been, When my belief had run so dry, You held the light and kept it high. Thirty-three years I've called you mine, And every day you rise and shine. [Chorus] Oh, you're the heart, the soul, the strength, The one who carried every length, When I let go, you held my faith, You loved me more than you loved your own way. Jonny O, look how far we've come, You saved me, and you made me whole. [Bridge] Five kids and two little ones, All look to you when day is done. We're gonna make it, me and you, 'Cause baby, "we got stuff to do." [Verse 3] You never had the love you should, So you became the best you could, The truest friend, the faithful man, A father with the gentlest hand. Grow old with me, don't let it end, The best is yet to come, my friend. [Chorus] Oh, you're the heart, the soul, the strength, The one who carried every length, Jonny O, we're so proud of you, Through the storm, your love came shining through. [Outro] To paradise we'll walk as one, Our story's only just begun.
